I left Dalat for Nah Trang where I was meant to spend just one night before getting on the bus to Hoi An but couldn't bear to get on another long shitty bus ride so ended up spending 4 days in Nah Trang. The second I got off the bus in Nah Trang I was screamed at by moto drivers as usual but I have to give them points for their persistence. To get away from them I went into a cafe to have some lunch and just relax before looking for a guesthouse. The moto driver came on into the cafe, brought a beer, sat down at the table, and went on and on about how he just wants to say hello and not sell me anything while at the same time trying to make me sign up for a tour. After lunch he then followed me on his moto and trying to make me go into his friends hotels and watching to see where I was going to stay. It got beyond annoying and got pretty creepy.
So I found a hotel and then went down onto the beach which from a distance looked really beautiful until I got close up and saw not only mounds of rubbish but dead rats and used syringes everywhere, and some guy going for a crap on the beach. The next day I walked to the opposite end of the beach where the touristy area is and the beach was clean, the sand was raked, and the water wasn't full of rubbish so it was pretty interesting to see the two sides to Nah Trang. We hunted out places to buy Beer Hoi (blackmarket beer for around 15cents a handle), met some cool locals, and ended up having a pretty good time there.
Time is ticking so I had to either get on the bus I'd paid for or buy a train or plane ticket, and decided on a rad sleeper train to whoosh me off to Hue and from there I'll be heading into Laos.
I went to a vegetarian restaurant in Hue which had lots of fake-meat options on the menu including intestines, kidneys, and ears! I got the chicken but think I should go back tonight and order the intestines.
